With American ski star Mikaela Shiffrin likely to miss the next race, Lara Gutova-Behrami is very close to winning the overall World Cup.
news-item-description">The Alpine Skiing World Cup currently has to do without not only Petra Vlhová, but also American skier Mikaela Shiffrinová, who has already missed 10 races due to injury.
According to US communications chief Megan Harrod, Mikaela Shiffrin could miss another race, bringing Swiss skier Lara Gut-Behrami very close to an overall World Cup victory.
According to the report, the American star could return to the slopes in the Swedish Aare only in Sunday’s slalom, so it is possible that he will also miss Saturday’s giant slalom. “Mikaela is improving in slalom and feels that it is realistic. However, the giant slalom is questionable,” says Megan Harrod for Swiss Blick.
More detailed information will be provided by the American team in the coming days.
A big crystal globe to Switzerland?
If Mikaela Shiffrin had indeed missed Saturday’s giant slalom, she would probably no longer be a threat to Lara Gutova-Behramiova in the battle for the overall World Cup championship. She is already 385 points behind the Swiss competitor, who currently has the big crystal globe literally at her fingertips.
Second place Federica Brignone is currently losing 325 points to Lara Gutová-Behramiová. There are still 600 points in the game.
Mikaela Shiffrin took a hard fall in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy in January and injured the collateral ligament in her left knee. Her return to the slopes is postponed from weekend to weekend.
